Been making internet ads more reliable for a few years now. That’s literally my entire job. Making sure that ads get shown on your computer screen with as little errors as possible. I was able to handle it okay at first because it pays well and I have no ability to get another job (combination of awful labor market and low experience) but I’ve been dissociating hard af and have started to get incredibly dark thoughts while at work (I’m perfectly fine outside of it) the last few weeks
It’s not even a fake email job, it’s pretty complex and has a decently high workload too so I can’t just screw around. I actually need to be able to focus deeply for hours every day which is now almost impossible because of how empty and dreadful it’s been making me
Haven’t quit because I’m supporting my partner as well who makes no money living their desired career
Thankfully it’s not that bad, it’s mostly making sure ads don’t stop working because of normal reasons that any other website may stop working. Networking issues, bad code causing bugs, wrong config pushes, hardware failures, etc.
There’s some other team working on circumventing ublock and other ad blocking systems
damn, was hoping you’d have some insight into this so you could reverse all the work your company does as a side project/hobby
